Trustees’ Report

The trustees are pleased to present their annual directors’ report together with the consolidated financial statements of Devon Community Foundation and its subsidiaries, Tiverton Educational Foundation, Devon Social Finance Ltd and Sarah Wood Fogwell’s Charity for the year ending 31 March 2025, which are also prepared to meet the requirements for a directors’ report and financial statements for Companies Act purposes.

The financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Companies Act 2006, the Memorandum and Articles of Association, and Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their financial statements in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the (FRS 102). In 2024.25 Devon Community Foundation (DCF) continued to support Devon’s communities as outlined in this report.

Chair’s Statement

The 2024.25 Financial Year was one of change and renewal. We launched our new brand across printed and digital materials. Brand is about so much more than logos and colours. It’s about reputation, our unique selling points, and if done right, a rebrand should help an organisation better understand themselves and be better at what they do. We also introduced a refreshed set of values, Trust, Expertise, Collaboration, and Compassion. These values guide our decision-making and act as a compass for everything we do.

During the year, we welcomed new trustees Sandy Goscomb and Cary Rudolph. Sandy has taken up the baton of Treasurer, and Cary has led us through a comprehensive and thorough governance review process. Among staff Clare Williamson-Cary, Sue Hennessey and Ceri Goddard left the Foundation during the year, and I stepped in as Interim Chief Executive to provide continuity and support to the executive team. In the final quarter of the year, Mary Hancock joined us as the new Chief Executive, bringing with her nearly 13 years of team leadership and operational experience within the Community Foundation network.

Partnerships continued to be central to our work during the year. We continued to work closely with the national Community Foundation network (UKCF) and the South West Funders Forum. We partnered with the High Sheriff of Devon to reinvigorate the High Sheriff Fund, and we worked with Devon County Council to distribute a new fund focused on smoking cessation.

We paused most of our grant making programmes in the early months of 2025 to review our application and awarding procedures. Over the summer, we recruited 2 new grants managers, and in July we launched our refreshed approach to grant making. Looking ahead, we’ll be growing our trustee board, strengthening the team and drafting a long-term strategy that will take us into the next 10 years of inspiring philanthropy and tackling disadvantage in Devon.

Dinah Cox, OBE

Philanthropy

This year marked several significant milestones for the Foundation. We successfully launched our first-ever programme in partnership with Plymouth City Council focused on Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG). We also secured match funding from Sedel Collings, which effectively doubled our grantmaking capacity for this initiative. Additionally, we reinstated our relationship with Mars Wrigley, resulting in a generous donation of £23,000, which we are pleased to confirm will be a recurring annual contribution.

During the year, we established new partnerships with locally based donors Simon and Jane Hallett, and we strengthened our ties with the Clare Milne Trust to help their trustees reach very small, grassroots groups in Devon.

During the year we continued, a multiyear partnership with Devon County Council, developing the food hubs project. A notable surprise came in the form of a last-minute donation of £100,000 from Devon County Council to support a smoking cessation grant programme, with £85,000 dedicated to grantmaking, which underlines the deep trust and connection we have established with them.

Furthermore, we hosted a black-tie fundraising event, which, along with associated donations, raised over £20,000 for the newly established High Sheriff of Devon Fund. We also engaged in numerous meetings and talks with professional advisers to raise awareness of our philanthropy services and foster new relationships. Overall, this year has been marked by growth, strengthened partnerships, and exciting new programmes.

Funding Local Communities

While inflation rates began to drop during the year, the Cost-of-Living crisis morphed into business as normal, which means that many local charities continued to see a rise in demand for their services. At the same time, many sources of funding such as long-established charitable foundations stopped grantmaking, and the cost to run a charity is higher than ever. Demand for our funding continued to be high throughout the year. In total, we paid £2,038,096 in grants during the financial year.

Although we award an increasing number of large grants and support a handful of larger organisations, we continue to focus on funding the small, grassroots groups that respond to local need based on local knowledge.

Renewable energy and land or property development firms often make charitable investments in the communities where they work through Community Benefit Funds. We currently manage four of these funds, and during the year we focused on bringing in new members for the community-led decision-making panel and on increasing the volume of grants made for the largest of these funds, Batsworthy Cross Wind Farm.

DEVON COMMUNITY FOUNDATION Year ended 31 March 2025

Trustees’ Report continued

Since 2021 we have worked with Devon County Council to distribute a share of the Government’s Household Support Fund through our Food, Fuel and More programme. To date we have made grants totalling almost £1.2m to 62 different organisations, and this year alone we distributed more than £400,000. The programme focuses on the provision of food, fuel, and other essentials to those experiencing hardship. It is aimed at organisations reaching priority communities that our research has shown are less likely to access support through other means.

Impact, Insight & Learning

Having been involved with grantmaking from the Household Support Fund and associated sources with our partners at Devon County Council, we conducted a review of the work, assessing what we learned from this evolving process, and bringing together grant holders to reflect on the experience for their organisations. Also working with Devon County Council, we embarked on a series of activities to better understand the state of the Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprise (VCSE) sector in Devon and have published a number of statistical releases based on original survey work and analysis of published datasets.

As grantholders for a UKRI Community Knowledge Fund award, we ran the successful Food for Thought learning project in northern Devon, exploring connections between young people at risk of food insecurity and food producers in the local area. In parallel we hosted two Food Conversations with local stakeholders, funded by the Food, Farming and Countryside Commission. Our long association with the Torbay, Plymouth and Devon VCSE Assembly has led to our involvement with a series of initiatives funded by the NHS Research Engagement Network, including chairing a new VCSE research community of practice in the county.

Looking forward, trustees have supported a more intentional approach to externally funded insight and convening work. This will see the Foundation looking to work more strategically with a range of partners, to contribute to the strength and sustainability of the VCSE sector in Devon, and to build a robust base of evidence and insight to inform our grantmaking work.

Governance

Objectives and Activities

The purpose of the Charity is to distribute grant funding across Devon, Plymouth and Torbay to local community groups and organisations that tackle deprivation and disadvantage within their communities and support vulnerable people in the county. All the activities of the Charity are wholly aimed at the public benefit of historic Devon’s residents.

Our Vision, Mission and Activities

In 2024/25 Devon Community Foundation's vision was “A Devon that works for everyone, today and tomorrow.” Our mission was “Strengthening communities and tackling inequalities.”

The board of DCF reviewed its objectives and activities and set its goals for 2024/25. These included ensuring our activities met with the Charity Commission's test on public benefit alongside our charity purpose. Money was distributed to local community groups and organisations to address disadvantage and deprivation across the county.

Devon Community Foundation is a company limited by guarantee governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association dated 21 November 2006 and a registered charity with the Charity Commission. As Directors of the company, trustees must ensure it is run in accordance with the Articles of Association and the law in general.

DEVON COMMUNITY FOUNDATION Year ended 31 March 2025

Trustees’ Report continued

The Board is responsible and accountable for the strategic direction of the Devon Community Foundation and collectively sets and monitors the vision, mission, values and strategies for the Charity. As guardians of the Charity, all trustees are equally responsible in law for the Board’s actions and decisions. They must ensure that the organisation is performing well and is delivering the outcomes for which it is set up, in accordance with its Memorandum and Articles of Association.

Trustees are bound by an overriding duty, individually and as a Board, to act reasonably at all times in the interests of the organisation and of its present and future beneficiaries and members. Each and every trustee must act personally and not as a representative of any group or organisation.

The maximum number of trustees is determined by the Company in a general meeting and the minimum number of members of the Board of trustees is three. None of our trustees receive remuneration or other benefit from their work with the Charity although they may claim reasonable expenses if incurred when representing the Charity. These expenses are claimed through the Foundation’s financial process for expense claims.

The pay of all staff is reviewed at Board, annually, and the Board of Trustees agree any pay increases or alterations considering the current and projected financial performance and stability of the organisation.

Appointment of Trustees

The Board is responsible for the appointment of trustees. The initial term of office for trustees is five years, and a trustee is then eligible for re-election for a further five years as decided by the Board.

There is provision for the second term to be extended at the discretion of the Board should they perceive there to be a risk of either a) losing vital knowledge and skills from the Board and thereby endangering the progress of the Foundation and its Board or b) having insufficient numbers on the Board for it to function effectively.

In anticipation of retiring trustees, the Board decides what skills and attributes are needed in new trustees and a recruitment process commences. Roles are advertised via mainstream and social media with a recruitment pack containing the role description and description of the organisation. Applications are shortlisted by the executive staff and trustees, who then invite candidates to an interview before a panel consisting of trustees, the Chief Executive and a third-party member (such as the Chief Executive of another community foundation).

Trustee Induction and Training

Once appointed to the Board, a new trustee spends time with the Chief Executive and the Leadership Team at an induction day to gain further understanding of the mechanics of the Foundation. Further training needs are identified as needed and training opportunities (such as conferences and training courses) are publicised to trustees. They are encouraged to take advantage of these opportunities to both facilitate their role and deepen their understanding of the context of the Foundation.

Organisation

Overall responsibility for the effective running of the Foundation has been delegated to the Chief Executive, with support and guidance from the Chair and Board of Trustees. The Chief Executive is responsible to the trustees for financial management and the development of income streams, for staff management, for managing an effective funding distribution system and for developing relationships with a wide range of stakeholders.

Trustees’ Report continued

The Board meets quarterly (virtually where appropriate) with papers provided one week prior to each meeting. In addition, the Chief Executive meets with the Chair at least every six weeks to discuss the strategic direction of the organisation.

The day-to-day management of Devon Community Foundation is delegated to the Chief Executive, Mary Hancock (appointed 24 February 2025), who is responsible for implementation of the Foundation’s strategy. During 2024/25, the Foundation employed 14 staff (9.52 FTE) who undertake the core functions of grant making, programmes, communications, development, finance and administration.

Devon Community Foundation was founded in 1996 and is a registered Charity and a company limited by guarantee.

Related Parties

The Wace Family and Hely-Hutchinson Family Funds were created from donations by Sally Wace and Caroline Harlow respectively, who are current DCF Trustees.

Promoting Children in Plymouth (formerly The Plymouth Drake Foundation) works closely with Devon Community Foundation on several DCF Plymouth Based funds.

Devon Community Foundation became the Trustee of the Tiverton Education Foundation (TEF) in October 2014 and Sarah Wood Fogwell’s Charity (SWF) in March 2021. The grant-making elements of TEF and SWF have passed to Devon Community Foundation to take advantage of the improved efficiencies this brings through the creation of named funds within DCF.

Devon Social Finance Ltd is a wholly owned subsidiary of Devon Community Foundation incorporated in the UK on 9 June 2017.

Financial Review

Summary

The Foundation’s total income for the year was £2,154,227 (2024: £2,534,721). The income from donations was £1,525,449 (2024: £1,245,712), charitable activities £269,293 (2024: £898,905) investments £334,485 (2024: £390,104) and other £25,000 (2024: Nil)

Total expenditure was £2,673,142 (2024: £2,946,666). The expenditure on raising funds was £139,799 (2024: £126,792) and on charitable activities £2,239,893 (including grants payable of £2,038,096) (2024: £2,515,040, including grants payable £2,341,149).

Net assets at the 31 March 2025 were £11,426,601 (2024: £12,085,343) these figures include the consolidation of the Sarah Wood Fogwell’s Charity properties for the first time with a value of £735,000. Our total endowment decreased by 2.6% to £9,121,616 (2024: £9,362,397). There were new donations to the endowment funds of £30,666 (2024: £ 14,351), and the total unrealised loss on investments amounted to £139,039 (2024: gain £753,978).

Consequently, unrestricted reserves are now at £375,366 of which £250,000 are designated to cover 6 months costs.

Reserves Policy

Reserves are needed to bridge the gap between the spending and the receiving of income and to cover unplanned emergency expenditure. The year end balances on the restricted funds of £1,194,619 are for future grant making and active projects.

The trustees believe that it is appropriate to maintain unrestricted funds to ensure:

  1. the smooth operation of the Foundation in the event of long-term illness of a member of staff.

  2. the continuation of activities in the short term if sources of flow-through grant-making ceased or diminished.

  3. the management of medium, or longer term, fluctuations in income.

  4. the financing of obligations, residual liabilities and redundancies should the Foundation cease to operate.

Going Concern

The Foundation is in the fortunate position of having a healthy cash-flow projection due to receiving grant funds before distribution. In addition, the core costs element of the endowment is secure for the foreseeable future. This is sufficient to be sure the Foundation can and will continue in perpetuity and is able to support itself with a reliable source of income.

The three-year financial forecast is reviewed at every Board meeting and mitigating action taken when financial pressures require (for example recruiting or losing roles as required) and adjusting the expenditure to align with income. The Trustees are fully confident that Devon Community Foundation is a going concern in every sense.

Investments

Devon Community Foundation continues to work with Wiltshire Community Foundation, Dorset Community Foundation and Somerset Community Foundation as part of a collective agreement for investment. The joint Investment Committee, with representatives from all four Community Foundations, carries out scrutiny of our investment performance and investment managers. The total return on endowment investments was 1.3% in 2024.25.

The Trustees decided to distribute 3.5% of endowed value at 31 December 2023 for grant making in 2024/25 and those funds were distributed in the year.

Future Plans

When she took the helm at DCF in early 2025, Chief Executive Mary Hancock’s 3 main priorities for the first half of the year were:

In July 2025 we recruited new, part-time members of the grants teams to help us roll out a newly refreshed grantmaking approach. Our aim is to make it easier for organisations to secure grants. Groups will no longer have

to spend precious time submitting a new application each time new funding becomes available. Instead, we will work behind the scenes, using our extensive database built up over the last 29 years, to match up the groups and funds that fit best. This means that when groups are invited to submit an application, they will have a much better chance of success.

In early 2025 the trustees agreed to invest in additional staff capacity for the Learning and Insights team. This means that we welcomed Ian Blackwell back to the team. He and Nicola Frost were joined by a research assistant on a temporary basis during the year to support the ever-growing portfolio of research work the team is leading in collaboration with partners such as the NHS and the University of Exeter. Not many community foundations in the UK have dedicated research departments, and we believe this unique offer will be the keystone in our next long-term strategy.

In the Autumn, we will complete the process of setting up our new Customer Management System, a longstanding project initiated by UK Community Foundations. The new CRM will enable us to further automate processes, which should result in time and financial savings.

Four new trustees were recruited in August 2025. They, alongside current trustees, will attend an in-person induction day at the office in September, where they’ll have an opportunity to get to know the staff and leadership group, as well as important policies, before the trustee board meeting in October. Then, trustees and the Leadership Group will come together again for an Away Day in December, where work will begin on our next strategy.

During Q4, DCF will take part in a Quality Accreditation exercise spearheaded by UK Community Foundations. This will be our 6[th] Quality Accreditation, and we hope for feedback that’s as positive as it has been in previous years. To support our application, we will be introducing new policies covering topics ranging from menopause to trustee recruitment and expenses. We will also refresh our Staff Handbook and introduce more progressive staff benefits, ensuring that we continue to attract and retain high quality, talented employees.

Finally, a bold and ambitious 10-year strategy will be considered by the Board in March 2026. The new strategy document will be introduced to the outside world in Q1 of the next financial year. While endowment building will be fundamental to our philanthropic services, insight-led grantmaking will be our unique offer to charities and grassroots groups across the county.

Trustees’ responsibilities in relation to the financial statements

The charity trustees (who are also directors of Devon Community Foundation for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing a Trustees’ Annual Report and financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards.

Company law requires the charity trustees to prepare financial statements for each year these must give a true and fair view of the financial position, assets, liabilities and income and expenditure of the charitable group for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. The trustees are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and the group and hence taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

The trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charitable company’s website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.

In so far as the trustees are aware at the time of approving our trustees’ annual report,

there is no relevant audit information, being information needed by the auditor in connection with preparing their report, of which the charity’s auditor is unaware. The trustees, having made enquiries of fellow directors and the group’s auditor that they ought to have individually taken, have each taken all steps that they are obliged to take as a director in order to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the auditor is aware of that information.

The trustees approve the Trustees’ Annual Report, including approval in their capacity as company directors of the Strategic Report contained within it, on 13 October 2025.

Dinah Cox, OBE Chair of the Board

Independent Auditor’s Report to the Members of Devon Community Foundation

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Devon Community Foundation (the “Charity”) for the year ended 31 March 2025, which comprise Group Statement of Financial Activities, Group and Parent Company Balance Sheets, Statement of Consolidated Cash flows and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), including Financial Reporting Standard 102: The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland.

In our opinion, the financial statements:

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the Charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Conclusions relating to going concern

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the Charity’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the original financial statements were authorised for issue.

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the directors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Other information

The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

DEVON COMMUNITY FOUNDATION Year ended 31 March 2025

Independent Auditor’s Report to the Members of Devon Community Foundation (continued)

We have nothing to report in this regard.

Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the Charity and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the trustees’ report.

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

Responsibilities of the trustees

As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees’ Responsibilities set out on page 16, the trustees (who are also the directors of the charity for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as they determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the Charity’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the Charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

DEVON COMMUNITY FOUNDATION Year ended 31 March 2025

Independent Auditor’s Report to the Members of Devon Community Foundation (continued)

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in

line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud, is detailed below:

As part of our audit planning we obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework that is applicable to the entity and the sector in which it operates to identify the key laws and regulations. Key laws and regulations identified were the Charities Act 2011, Companies Act 2006, tax legislation, safeguarding and irregularities relating to the protection of data and health and safety. A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.

We also considered management’s manipulation incentives and opportunities for fraudulent overstatement of profit, and fraud risk more generally.

Based on this we designed our audit procedures to identify irregularities. Our audit procedures involved the following:

DEVON COMMUNITY FOUNDATION Year ended 31 March 2025

Independent Auditor’s Report to the Members of Devon Community Foundation (continued)

Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one because of error, as fraud may involve deliberate omissions, collusion, forgery, misrepresentations, or the override of internal controls. We are also less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations that are closely related to events and transactions reflected in the financial statements.

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.

Use of our Report

This report is made solely to the Charity’s members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the Charity’s members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Charity’s members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

Notes to the financial statements

1. Accounting Policies

The principal accounting policies adopted, judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the financial statements are as follows: -

Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by the revaluation of investments. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their financial statements in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) – (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006 and the Charities Act 2011.

The trustees have assessed the charity’s activities with regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit. The Foundation meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102.

Devon Community Foundation was incorporated in England UK. The registered office is details in the Trustees’ report.

No separate SOFA has been presented for the charity alone as permitted by section 408 of the companies Act 2006.

The functional currency of Devon Community Foundation is considered to be pounds sterling because it is the primary economic environment in which the Charity operates.

Preparation of financial statements on a going concern basis

The Foundation is in the fortunate position of having a healthy cash-flow projection due to receiving grant funds before distribution. In addition, the core costs element (DCF share) of the endowment is secure for the foreseeable future which is sufficient to ensure the Foundation can and will continue in perpetuity and is able to support itself with a reliable source of income.

The three-year financial forecast is reviewed at every Board meeting and mitigating action taken when financial pressures require (for example recruiting or losing roles as required) and adjusting the expenditure to meet the expected income.

DEVON COMMUNITY FOUNDATION Year ended 31 March 2025

Notes to the financial statements (continued)

Consolidated financial statements

These financial statements consolidate the results of the charity and its wholly owned subsidiaries Tiverton Educational Foundation (TEF), Sarah Wood Fogwell’s Charity (SWF) and Devon Social Finance LTD (DSF) on a line by line basis. A separate Statement of Financial Activities, or income and expenditure account, for the charity itself is not presented because the charity has taken advantage of the exemptions afforded by section 408 of the Companies Act 2006. The Charity became the sole corporate trustee of Tiverton Educational Foundation on 6 October 2014 and Sarah Wood Fogwell’s Charity on 12 March 2021. The prior year adjustment in respect of Sarah Wood Fogwell’s Charity is detailed in note 24.

Income

Income from grants is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any conditions attached to the grants have been met, it is probable that the income will be received, and the amount can be measured reliably and is not deferred. Income received in advance is deferred until the criteria for income recognition are met.

For legacies, entitlement is taken as the earlier of the date on which either: the Charity is aware that probate has been granted, the estate has been finalised, and notification has been made by the executor(s) to the Trust that a distribution will be made, or when a distribution is received from the estate. Receipt of a legacy, in whole or in part, is only considered probable when the amount can be measured reliably and the Charity has been notified of the executor’s intention to make a distribution. Where legacies have been notified to the charity, or the Charity is aware of the granting of probate, and the criteria for income recognition have not been met, then the legacy is a treated as a contingent asset and disclosed if material.

Donated services and facilities

Donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised as income when the Charity has control over the item, any conditions associated with the donated item have been met, the receipt of economic benefit from the use by the Charity of the item is probable and that economic benefit can be measured reliably.

Donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised on the basis of the value of the gift to the Charity which is the amount the Charity would have been willing to pay to obtain services or facilities of equivalent economic benefit on the open market; a corresponding amount is then recognised in expenditure in the period of receipt.

Interest receivable

Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the Charity: this is normally upon notification of interest paid or payable by the bank.

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds are available to spend on activities that further any of the purposes of the Charity. Designated funds are unrestricted funds of the Charity which trustees have decided at their discretion to set aside to use for a specific purpose. Restricted funds are donations which the donor has specified are to be solely used for particular areas of the Foundation’s work or for specific projects being undertaken by the Foundation. Endowment funds are invested and the income from these funds is applied to the relevant restricted or unrestricted income funds.

DEVON COMMUNITY FOUNDATION Year ended 31 March 2025

Notes to the financial statements (continued)

Investment income is allocated to the endowment funds. Withdrawals from the endowment fund have been made at a rate of 3.5 % (2024: 3.5%) which the trustees review annually and consider to be a reasonable withdrawal rate.

Expenditure and irrecoverable VAT

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required, and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified under the following activity headings:

● Costs of raising funds comprise the costs of fund development or marketing/advertising.

● Expenditure on charitable activities includes the costs of grant making, property expenses and project activities undertaken to further the purposes of the charity and their associated support costs.

Expenditure is allocated between the above headings in the Statement of Financial Activities on a direct basis apart from staff costs, which are allocated based upon the amount of time staff work on each area.

Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred.

Allocation of support costs

Support costs include those costs associated with meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements of the Charity and include costs linked to the strategic management of the Charity. Support costs include back office costs, finance, personnel, payroll and governance costs which support the Foundations activities.

Taxation

Devon Community Foundation has charitable status and uses its funds for charitable purposes. Therefore, no taxation is included in these financial statements and is exempt from tax on income and gains falling within section 505 of the Taxes Act 1988 or section 252 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992. The charity is not registered for Value Added Tax, and expenditure therefore includes VAT where appropriate.

Investments

Investments are stated at their quoted market value at the end of the year.

The SOFA includes the net gains and losses on revaluations and disposals throughout the year. Realised gains and losses for the year are calculated based on market value brought forward plus any additions in the year.

Intangible fixed assets

Website

Depreciation is provided to write off the cost of intangible fixed assets by equal instalments over their estimated useful economic life. The estimated useful economic life of the website is 3 years.

DEVON COMMUNITY FOUNDATION Year ended 31 March 2025

Notes to the financial statements (continued)

Tangible fixed assets and depreciation

All assets costing more than £1,000 are capitalised and are included at cost. Depreciation is provided to write off the cost of tangible fixed assets by equal instalments over their estimated useful economic lives. Computer and office equipment are written off using straight line over 3 years.

Investment property at fair value.

47A Barrington Street property is treated as an investment property under charities SORP (FRS 102). A valuation was carried out by an independent expert in 2006. The trustees have considered revaluation and decided the property is measured at fair value (using a rental yield 6% of value of property) therefore the value remains at £141,000 and will be revalued at each reporting date.

The Foundation is constrained by the Trust Deed as to the use of the land asset. A part of this land must be used as the site of Castle School and is subject to reverter rights. On this basis the Trustees have revalued the asset and reclassified the land as investment property.

Property in Brixham, part of Sarah Wood Fogwell’s Charity, has now been transferred to the charity and is investment property under charities SORP (FRS 102). A valuation was carried out by an independent expert in 2023 with a value of £735,000 for the 5 properties. These are all rented out at commercial rates. Details of the prior year adjustment in respect of these properties is given in note 24.

Debtors

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.

Cash at bank

Cash at bank includes short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.

Creditors and provisions

Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.

Financial instruments

The Foundation only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value except for bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Pensions

Pension provision is in place for all staff in line with current pension regulations.
